Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

squeak

The back door of the flower house opened, and Tang Rao stepped out.

"Why did you two come here!"

Locke and Michelle stood up and bowed.

Tang Rao flicked the cigarette butt with one hand, and Michelle quickly used telekinesis to catch it.

"Lord Tang Rao, please observe the most basic public health."

Tang Rao exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled helplessly, and pointed at it with his thumb.

"I came just in time, it's hot up there."

With that said, Tang Rao turned around and walked into the house, looking back at Michelle who was about to follow him.

"Come back if you think clearly, little girl, you are only 60 years old this year!"

Michelle stepped into the doorway and corrected herself.

"He is 59 years and 8 months old."

"As an older woman, I have to give you some advice Michelle. The more you care about age, the faster it will be."

Michelle didn't say anything and walked behind Locke.

As soon as she arrived on the second floor, Michelle immediately saw two people she knew, Witte and Rose. One was the owner of a private farmland somewhere in the east, and the other was from the famous Rose Dolby Dessert Shop near Section 5. Boss, as for the other man in a white coat who looks very serious, he should be the Green God.

"Michelle, why are you here too!"

Rose raised her hand and waved. When she was a secretary in Section 5, she would often go to this dessert shop because it was really delicious, and the owner Rose was very popular in the eyes of many women, but Mi Xueer was indifferent and would chat with Rose from time to time, but Rose's topic was always the trivial things between men and women, and Michelle just agreed.

"Lady Rose!"

Michelle bowed. As for Werther, she knew it from the information, but she just found it a little strange. Most of the farmland there belonged to the family, but there was one person who owned private land.

Rose walked to the refrigerator, took out ice cubes and taste sauce, and raised a finger to make a smoothie. Tang Rao pointed directly to the side of the stairs.

"You two should sit down, don't be so formal."

Locke pulled out two chairs and sat down on his own, but Michelle stood aside instead. Rose brought two glasses of smoothie and handed them to them.

"Little Fatty, have you finished handling the matters in the General Affairs Department?"

Deguna spoke immediately, Locke was a little embarrassed, and Michelle immediately answered.

"Lord Deguna, regarding the sorting, classification and investigation of the materials excavated in Area 79, the current progress has been completed under the leadership and supervision of Section Chief Leona. About 70% has been completed. I have classified and processed the documents. It is expected to be completed tomorrow. It can all be done around 3 a.m.”

Everyone else in the room nodded with great satisfaction, and Werther even praised it.

"As expected of Michelle, if this matter was left to anyone else, they wouldn't be able to do it to this extent."

Gu Yi, who was standing by the window with his hands in his pockets, also nodded in agreement.

Jean was still standing motionless next to the round table, smoking silently. Michelle found that Jean's eyes at this time were a little cooler than usual, and his eyes were always gentle and smiling. Jean was different. In such a dark night, Jean felt more like a sharp blade that could be unsheathed at any time.

"Little Fatty, since you are here, I will trouble you to implement what you heard tonight and effectively implement it from tomorrow on. This is an absolute order from the six gods!"

Locke's face was startled, and the spoon he held in his mouth stopped in the air. Looking at Li Chu with cold eyes, he immediately looked at Jean for help, but Jean remained silent.

"What exactly is going on? My lords, things at the bottom are more important now."

As Locke said, Li Chu stood up and spoke directly.

"Tomorrow we will give you an order document from the General Affairs Section. As for the content, I can tell you about the Avalon Project!"

Utopia!

A certain noun from a heroic story immediately popped up in Michelle's mind, but she still stood there without changing her expression.

"Can you please tell me what the Avalon Project is?"

"To put it simply, it is the era of controllable mechanization!"

Locke scratched his head and looked at Gu Yi with a smile on his face.

"Lord Guyi, can you be more specific?"

Deguna understood the purpose of Locke's visit tonight and walked over with a sneer.

"Little Fatty, you will get all the details of the Avalon Project tomorrow. I can tell you first. You have to arrange for manpower to investigate and select an experimental area for the Avalon Project. If you can't do it, Michelle I’ll leave it to you, okay!”

Michelle nodded slightly and said nothing. Locke was still thinking about what to do, but the most critical thing at this time was Gene. He still didn't speak, yes or no, and it didn't come out of his mouth.

"It would be better to wait until there is a formal discussion in Congress before making a decision, at the city meeting at the end of this month."

"Little Fatty, we are ready for everything. You just need to follow the plan. You don't need to worry about the rest!"

Li Chu said and stared at Jean sideways. Tang Rao sighed helplessly. At this time, Deguna turned around and said.

"Don't hesitate any more Jean, nothing we have said is worth your hesitation. You have reached the point of helplessness. You have been actively running around the city for so many years, and you have indeed found and promoted many talents. , but it is far from being able to solve the problem. As for the kid you found recently, he has no advantages except that his brain is a little stupider than others. We are not naive enough to think that kid can solve many problems."

Deguna said as she walked past Jean and sat on the sofa on the left.

"No matter what you think, we will activate Project Avalon."

Gene nodded, smiled bitterly, and exhaled a puff of smoke. The helpless feeling of trying his best to improve everything except eating and sleeping, and finally being unable to retreat and being powerless filled Gene's whole person. .

“Actually, many times, I’m a little tired!”

Jean finally spoke, and Michelle looked at Jean blankly. In her impression, Jean rarely mentioned work matters, because to outsiders, his work was very leisurely. At least Michelle herself entered the general affairs department. After graduating from college and starting to interact with Jean many times, I felt that the surface and the inside were in extreme opposition.

Jean never said anything, and Michelle never asked. She just supported Jean's every job with respect. Until the food crisis broke out, Jean's actions shocked Michelle and she was able to enter directly. The waste pipeline found a particle-level formula, allowing Section 4 to find a way to combat the disease as soon as possible.

Before the riots broke out in the city, Michelle had already gone to the barrier area and persuaded a large number of armed forces alone. Michelle had seen all the things she had done recently.

At this moment, Michelle was panicking. It was the first time she heard the word tired from Gene's mouth.

"I am very tired!"

Gene spoke again, lowered his head, and took out another cigarette from his pocket. Rose nodded.

"Since you are tired, just choose to rest, Gene. Some things are helpless. Humans cannot choose an absolutely correct path, so we are here to give humans an absolutely correct path."

"but."

Gene raised his head with a smile, and the light fell on his slightly bitter face. Michelle wanted to speak, but Gene stared at her, shook his head, and locked eyes with each other, Locke stood up.

"There is no absolute right thing in this world! Dear gods, please think about it carefully. I think people's future should always be decided by the people of this era."

"Little Fatty, there is no time. You should know it best. After all, you have seen the most. Among all the people, everything I have tried so far is gradually changing or even failing. I am deeply saddened. A sense of sadness hangs over the entire city. When people know what the world outside the barrier is like, this sense of sadness will penetrate into everyone's heart, accelerating the destruction of today's somewhat deformed but still thriving society. "

Werther said, stood up from the chair on the right, and looked at Gene again.

"We will think that all this is not an accident, but with the little efforts of our former friends and students, the Avalon Project was finally established. In order to give humans enough time to cope with today's world, we developed We have developed life-span vaccines, and in order to allow humans to have replacements for certain parts of their bodies when they cannot be used, we have developed mechanically modified humans, and in order to allow humans to develop more novel technologies more quickly, we A variety of multi-purpose AIs have been developed, and now it all comes together to form the Avalon Project!"

Jean hummed. Michelle's eyes dimmed when she looked at Jean. She couldn't bear it any longer, but she still stood there with a calm expression. The atmosphere in the room couldn't be broken, and what the gods said couldn't be refuted. , because the people in the room are now completely dominated by rationality.

Didi didi

As the cell phone rang, Gene took it out of his pocket.

At 11:37, the caller number was 001301

"Jean, are you asleep?"

Le Xiao's timid but gentle voice came out, and Gene returned to his smile.

"I'm having a party with my friends, what's going on?"

The atmosphere in the room had changed, and both Michelle and Locke felt it keenly. The expressions of the gods also became a little irritable, because except for Gene, Locke was not optimistic about this idiot Le Xiao.

A moment of twitching

"That, this"

"Which one is it?"

Tang Rao said angrily, and Le Xiao finally spoke.

"I heard that Jean you are going to do business outside the barrier. I heard it from a friend."

Alpha?

Gene thought of it immediately and just hummed.

"Is there anything you want to tell me? I just want to ask. After all, there is no section chief who left his secretary aside and didn't even look at me when I started working. He only sent me an orange. It’s too much!”

Le Xiao panted and finished speaking. Gene laughed, and many gods in the room frowned.

"It's a very annoying feeling. I hate this kind of guy the most!"

Gu Yi said, Le Xiao seemed to hear him.

"Huh? Is there anyone over there, Jean?"

"friend!"

Jean stared at the lights outside the window quietly, not knowing how to answer Le Xiao for a while, because although he had confidence in Le Xiao and even did a lot of things behind his back to make Le Xiao go smoothly, these things were still It's far from enough, because she is too young and naive. To be honest, Jean is not sure what kind of changes will happen if Le Xiao is pushed up. However, the change does happen, which is beyond Jean's expectation. , and the changes are so drastic.

"Do your job well!"

"That Jean, I am really the TOP of the bottom now!"

Gene was confused, but immediately agreed.

"Hehe! Now I have the final say on the bottom floor. Don't worry, Gene. I will definitely make the bottom floor beautiful. So when you come back, you have to tell me stories about your experiences outside the barrier. Something like that, I’m actually very interested!”

Gene hummed.

"There will be many obstacles and difficulties, just be careful!"

"The worst I can do is get scolded by a tigress. It's okay. I have a tough head and a thick skin. You know, when I was a kid, I fell from the third floor and it didn't break me. I'm still alive and kicking, haha."

Michelle's brows wrinkled slightly, Locke held his stomach and kept shaking his head.

"By the way, Gene, I feel like I can really do a lot of things now. Especially today at noon, I discovered a lot of new and interesting things. Let me tell you, that simple suitcase-shaped convenience house."

"you should go to bed."

Lexiao stopped talking.

"Good night Angel, I will start running and exercising tomorrow morning. Your friend Li Chu told me before that it will be possible to reach the level of your friend Werther very soon. If you see him then, Tell him to come and teach me how to do it when you have time, that move that night was quite cool!"

The phone was hung up, and Gene looked at Li Chu who was blinking.

"That fool, do you really believe it? I was just talking casually."

Gene raised his head slightly, and then glanced at everyone around him.

"Give her some time and give us some time, okay!"
